Golden ducks in the IPL are a natural consequence of the T20 format's aggressive batting culture. The players with most ducks tend to be either high-volume openers who face the most balls (Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli) or aggressive lower-order batters who take extreme risks (Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell). Ducks are most common for lower-order batters sent in as pinch-hitters or for players returning from injury who face difficulty timing the ball early in their innings.

#	Name	Runs	Team	Ducks	Matches

Despite this, his career average remains 29.73 across 272 matches.	7,046	MI	20+	272
2	Kieron Pollard — 18+ Ducks (Lower-Order Aggression) MI \| Number 5/6 Power Hitter Kieron Pollard accumulated 18+ ducks in IPL through his aggressive all-or-nothing batting approach at number 5-6. For every spectacular six-hitting innings he produced, there were occasional first-ball dismissals — a natural trade-off of his aggressive philosophy.	—	MI	18+	—
